Astro supports fast, automatic RSS feed generation for blogs and other content websites.
You can create an RSS feed from any Astro page that uses a `getStaticPaths()` function for routing. Only dynamic routes can use `getStaticPaths()` today (see [Routing](/core-concepts/routing)).
> We hope to make this feature available to all other pages before v1.0. As a workaround, you can convert a static route to a dynamic route that only generates a single page. See [Routing](/core-concepts/routing) for more information about dynamic routes.
Create an RSS Feed by calling the `rss()` function that is passed as an argument to `getStaticPaths()`. This will create an `rss.xml` file in your final build based on the data that you provide using the `items` array.
```js
// Example: /src/pages/posts/[...page].astro
// Place this function inside your Astro component script.
export async function getStaticPaths({rss}) {
const allPosts = Astro.fetchContent('../post/*.md');
const sortedPosts = allPosts.sort((a, b) => new Date(b.date) - new Date(a.date));
// Generate an RSS feed from this collection
rss({
// The RSS Feed title, description, and custom metadata.
title: 'Don’s Blog',
description: 'An example blog on Astro',
customData: `en-us`,
// The list of items for your RSS feed, sorted.
items: sortedPosts.map(item => ({
title: item.title,
description: item.description,
link: item.url,
pubDate: item.date,
})),
// Optional: Customize where the file is written to.
// Otherwise, defaults to "/rss.xml"
dest: "/my/custom/feed.xml",
});
// Return your paths
return [...];
}
```
Note: RSS feeds will **not** be built during development. Currently, RSS feeds are only generated during your final build.
